It is completely irrelevant.
A virus cannot mutate. It cannot replicate within a host body either. Only a functioning cell can copy a virus.
There is no such thing as a variant of a variant. A different virus is a different virus.
Sure they can. Airborne viruses can travel the world on the breeze. Many waterborne viruses can travel the oceans easily.
You DO know what wind and ocean currents are, right?
A virus cannot replicate itself, even in a host.
First of all, you might look into what it takes to keep a virus viable. Traveling the world on a breeze is not going to do it. Neither is floating in the ocean. Viruses travel by infecting a host, replicating, and then spreading out to other hosts.
Yes, viruses can replicate. Otherwise, the individual cells that left the labs in Wuhan would be the only covid cells in existence.
